I am looking to buy a microscope and telescope for the kids. The boys are in 9th grade and my daughter is in kindergarten. All three of them will be taking astronomy next year. I want one that they can all use.

For the microscope, it needs to be something that the boys can use for biology and microbiology. I want one that will hold up so that my daughter can use it when she takes courses that requires a microscope.

I don't have a lot of money to spend on them. I would like to spend no more than 100.00 on each.

THey have some pretty cool stuff. I will have look at the website again when I have more time.

I can't really do anything on Craigslist because the ones that are closest to us don't usually have anything. We live in a small town and the closest town that has a good bit of stuff is about 2 hours from us.

Quoting oredeb:

my brands are from my grandpa(very into astronomy gave us one of his real ones) and my aunt who retired and used a microscope for her work gave hers to use so that wont help you!hahahaha
